Congrats Ajax, played us off the park.

Ajax were brilliant but something was rotten with Madrid today. Didn't look arsed at all.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Well done Ajax!!

 

[Jazz]

Well done Ajax! Excellent performance from them! Good luck to them in the rest of the tournament.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

So many great individual performances, but Dušan Tadić deserves his own fecking thread after tonight's game @Fracture90

What a fecking game!

 

[VBI]

 

[Ainu]

Why? Don't remember first game, something happened there?

Took a deliberate yellow to miss this match and clear his record, iirc. Worked out great!

 

[FootyGirl88]

First quarter final in 16years for Ajax

 

[adexkola]

So happy for Blind

 

[B20]

Where is ramos?

 

[Prometheus]

Where's Ajax's arrival thread?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Blind loving it!

 

[mu4c_20le]

Daley!

 

[FootyGirl88]

You're a bad person!

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

No you didn't. They never played together.

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Don't really understand people who want Bale at United.

Tbf I wanted him here 3 years ago, not now.

 

[Jazz]

So happy for Blind

This too

Spurs 4 - Dortmund 0 over two legs. Dortmund have averaged well over 3 goals per games in recent times. They got none over 2 games against Spurs.

If that's boring, then bring it on.

They certainly had loads more chances than Spurs, they only lacked the quality to finish you.

 

[Sassy Colin]

You see, we can, maybe, go to Paris and do the same.

Atletico are now favourites to win it IMO. If it weren't for Madrid, they'd have won it already, as they're tailor made for this competition. Madrid were as opportunistic as them, but simply had more quality and luck on their side.

Juventus are also that kind of team, but there's a sense of them being lulled into complacency by domestic superiority, and lacking that spark to make it count at the very end, when it really matters.

City are playing the best football in Europe, but teams like them don't thrive in this competition. Guardiola's Barcelona played probably the most dominant football ever, and just managed 2/4.

Barcelona have become more cynical these days, but they're never be true experts at winning ugly, and that's what cups are all about. Can also see Liverpool winning it if they manage to get past Bayern.

But maybe it's time for an unlikely winner and the end of an apparent predictability of latter years. I guess that's the charm of this competition.

I would put City and Liverpool as favourites for the trophy now.

How much of this Ajax team were present for their Europa run in 2017?

 

[Camy89]

Why? Don't remember first game, something happened there?

He deliberately got booked so he didn’t miss the QF.

A hugely arrogant and ultimately fatal judgement. Knob.

 

[Fracture90]

What a fecking game!

He was channelling his inner NT self

Amazing performance, shame for that miss, he could have walked with 3 assists!

 

[prateik]

Ajax were great. Play some beautiful football.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Seriously? what a plonker, got what he deserved

 

[B20]

What a night for the travelling fans. They won't forget that anytime soon.

Spurs 4 - Dortmund 0 over two legs. Dortmund have averaged well over 3 goals per games in recent times. They got none over 2 games against Spurs.

Dortmund have won trophies in the last 10 years. How many have Spurs won? None.

 

[RobinLFC]

Great result for Ajax, and deservedly so.

Bet a lot of people are thinking now they'd love to face them in the QFs should their team get there, myself included.

 

[Mogget]

Arsenal fans raging right now.

Eh? Why?

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

A penny for Ramos' thoughts.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

He was channelling his inner NT self

Amazing performance, shame for that miss, he could have walked with 3 assists!

Super Saiyan mode

 

[GlastonSpur]

Congratulations to Ajax - a tremendous result.

 

[B20]

I would put City and Liverpool as favourites for the trophy now.

We're not even favourites to go through to the next round in our tie.

 

[Fracture90]

So Modric won the Balon d'or and Varane came in third right?

Seems fair.

Not to be nagging but we're now in March of 2019.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

A hugely arrogant and ultimately fatal judgement. Knob.

I know now, laughed at it, funny. I bet he is sad now.

Spurs 4 - Dortmund 0 over two legs. Dortmund have averaged well over 3 goals per games in recent times. They got none over 2 games against Spurs.

If that's boring, then bring it on.

We were pretty dull tonight in fairness, and have been in our last few games.

Buuuuut who cares, we're in a CL quarter final.

First quarter final in 16years for Ajax

The legend John O'Brien was on that side(and some guy named Zlatan was on the team too).

 

[Hoof the ball]

Madrid were awful but can you imagine the faces of Arsenal and Chelsea fans knowing Real are now in Europa too?

 

[SalfordRed18]

Was that what football was like in the 70s/80s?

 

[Dumbstar]

Madrid were awful but can you imagine the faces of Arsenal and Chelsea fans knowing Real are now in Europa too?

No they're not.

This is the second post I have seen saying this.
